Baseball, like all professional sports, can be brutal. The transition from "can't miss" to "forgotten" can be incredibly swift. Jackie Bradley Jr. has had the prospect label on him since 2013 and the glue on that label is starting to dissolve. Boston would love for him to be part of an outfield nucleus of Mookie Betts and Rusney Castillo (who still has his own doubters) for years to come. He's got a great glove, but fielding doesn't come into play in the fantasy world. One plus... he does have power. Bradley hit 10 homers last season in only 221 at-bats. Could that turn into a 30-homer season over the course of close to 600 plate appearances? If he hit like he first did when he was replacing the injured Betts... yes. He faltered badly at the end of the season, though. Two of our writers were very wary of him by not even putting him in their list of top 300 players. The other had him pegged at No. 293. Unless you are an extremely rabid Boston fan, pick him very late in the draft, if at all. At this point, he needs to prove himself first... to both his team and those who would pick him up.
